According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing, a display disposed in an internal space of the housing and viewable from an outside and including a display area, and a camera module disposed under the display overlapping at least a part of the display area and not including an aperture structure, wherein the camera module includes a lens housing, a plurality of lenses disposed on the lens housing, and an image sensor disposed under the plurality of lenses, wherein the display includes a display panel and a light blocking member comprising a light blocking material and including a light transmission region disposed on an inside and/or an outside of the display panel overlapping at least parts of the plurality of lenses as viewed from above the display.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the light blocking member comprises an organic material having a reflectivity of about 99% or more with respect to light flowing into the light blocking member.
3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the light blocking member is disposed together with the organic light-emitting layers.
4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a size of the light transmission region of the light blocking member is determined based on a viewing angle of the camera module.
5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein an area overlapping the light transmission region of the display panel does not include the organic light-emitting layers as viewed from above the display.
6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pixel electrodes are not disposed in an area overlapping the light transmission region of the display panel as viewed from above the display.
7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a disposition density of the plurality of pixel electrodes and/or the organic light-emitting layers is less than a disposition density of a neighboring display area in an area overlapping the light transmission region of the display panel as viewed from above the display.
9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the light blocking member comprises at least one of a black printed layer, a black matrix, or an opaque tape disposed on the upper portion of the display panel and/or a rear side of the polarizer.
10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the polarizer includes an opening corresponding to the light transmission region as viewed from above the display.
12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the at least one subsidiary material layer includes an opening corresponding to the light transmission region when the display is viewed from above.
13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the camera module is disposed at least partially in the opening.
14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the light blocking member comprises an opaque printed layer disposed on a rear surface of the display panel.
16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the light transmission region has the same center as centers of the plurality of lenses on the at least one polymer layer.
17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the at least one polymer layer comprises a shading layer comprising an opaque material.
